The Monument to the Overseas Combatants is a monument located next to the Fort of Bom Sucesso, in Belém, Lisbon. It was created to honor all military personnel who fought in the African War (1961-1974), in defense of the Fatherland. Created in 1991 by a team led by the architect Francisco José Ferreira Guedes de Carvalho.
It was inaugurated on January 15, 1994 by Adriano Moreira and General Altino de Magalhães, president of the League of Combatants at the time. Since that year, on June 10, the National Combatants' Meeting has been held there.
The monument consists of a lake with a statue in its middle. In 2000, along the Forte do Bom Sucesso, tombstones were affixed with the names of the fallen in the line of duty.
